Congratulations to 2020 Longhorn graduate, Jayden Reed. She recently received Honorable Mention in the Photographic Society of America's Youth Showcase. Jayden submitted her photo last year into an Oklahoma contest sponsored by the Oklahoma Camera Club. While she did not place in that event, the OCC submitted her image along with several others submitted by fellow yearbooks students to the PSA Youth Showcase. Covid 19 caused delays in the announcements of winners for the showcase, but last month they published the winners in their annual Youth Showcase publication. Jayden received Honorable Mention in the People or Animal Projected category with her image titled Joy. This image was taken at the last Aloha Day held at the elementary school and features middle school longhorn, Nora Pettingill.
